      1. For some reason Steve Sailer is suspicious of Jewish economists: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2014/12/who-are-the-most-influential-economists.html … (see comment #1 on post).

      2. "Who is the most influential American gentile economist?" So: no Jews, no foreigners.

      3. Sailer's comment reminds me of a general law: all comment sections are bad but libertarian websites have the worst comments of all.

      4. There's a huge gap between the intelligence of articles in places like Reason and the gibbering bigotry that often flourishes in comments

      5. To theorize a little, there's an unusually large gap between high-brow libertarianism and popular libertarianism.

      6. Popular libertarianism is something else: not an ideology so much as a set of white male resentments & twitches over status issues.

      7. This gets at oft-raised issue of whether the left can form an alliance with libertarians. Answer is: which libertarians?

      8. With someone like @radleybalko it's not just left can ally itself from him: left can learn from his detailed, informed critique of state

      9. Libertarian writers like @radleybalko bring to question of public policy a sense of how things work when enacted which is hugely valuable

      10. But as distinct from libertarian intellectuals, is there anything with popular libertarianism left can work with? Not much, I'd say.

          @HeerJeet I sincerely hope you're not mistaking Steve Sailer for a libertarian of any pedigree.

          @HeerJeet Many "libertarians" are just conservatives who want to sound cool. See: fake libertarians defending torture, police abuses etc

          @HeerJeet I think you're confusing libertarians with tea partiers. They make libertarians look real bad

          @HeerJeet Generally agree but what about on drug policy? Isn't popular libertarianism generally pro-decriminalization?

          @HeerJeet Addition to pop libertarianism that's little more than cover for white (often male) resentment there's a Millenial libertarianism
